2018 JUL 3 -- Day 83

Today is the best day ever! I dropped another 1.8 lbs, and I am at 348.8 lbs today! I'm confident I can hold this weight and drop even more, too. I have to admit that I had my doubts a few weeks back when my weigth shot through the roof more than 10 lbs in 2 days, but I'm definitely back on track and heading in the right direction. I'm super excited about that. And while it's hard to tell for sure, I think my tummy is shrinking and my mother's apron is not hanging down so low anymore. I could be seeing things. This could be wishful thinking. I don't know. I will have to wait until I can take a new progress picture at 325 lbs to see what differences and changes there have been.

Starting weight: 401 lbs
Current weight: 348.8 lbs ⇩
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 325 lbs

 Tomorrow is the start of my weekend, and it should be an eating day. Right now I'm feeling pretty good without food. I'm not hungry and my energy is good. I don't know whether I want to eat tomorrow, to be honest. I'll have to see how I feel about it in the morning. If I'm not feeling hungry at the time I am supposed to eat, I think I will just wait until hunger strikes. I don't see any harm in putting off eating.

Having been through the ordeal of gaining 10 lbs in two days, and then losing it again, I can feel confident that I have unlocked the secret of weight loss, and I am no longer afraid to eat. If it happens again, I'll simply wait it out. I'm going to take measures to make sure it doesn't happen, but as vigilant as I am, things can happen; things that re beyond my control.

It's rather liberating to feel free of the burden of uncontrolled weight gain. I can control my weight. While my weight will fluctuate, and it will rise sometimes, I do not have the burden and stress on my mind that I can't control it. That is wonderful.

Now, I am only human, so I am not saying that I'll be okay with rising numbers on the scale. What I'm saying is that I don't have to worry that I'm stuck with rising numbers and no way out. That's how I have felt for a good 20 years of my life. I am stuck with rising numbers on the scale with no way out. That's terrifying and heartbreaking. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I want to lend my help and support for those in my position. I want people to know that there is hope, and we only need to crack the code!

I wonder how to get the message of this weight loss secret out to the whole world graph:

2018 AUG 2 -- Day 113

My weight is down to 340.6 lbs again today, but that's what it has been every other day for the past 5 days. This is not encouraging. I like that it's gone down instead of up, but it's still not as far down as I'd hoped. I'm not feeling great about my progress at the moment. I'm beginning to doubt I can succeed with my ultimate weight loss goal at all. Am I losing inches, maybe? I don't know. I don't feel like I have, but I'm too afraid to measure myself. What if I haven't lost inches or if I have gained inches? I would be so discouraged! Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  340.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs My blood glucose readings were in the 120s when I first started measuring, but now they are staying in the 150 to 160 range. Every now and then they get into the 190s or 200s. That's fairly frightening. Why is my blood glucose so high? I read that there is possibly glucose in  my fat cells th...

2018 JUL 28 -- Day 108

I have lost a little bit of weight from yesterday to today, but I'm still not too happy. I am about three pounds heavier than where I should be right now. I know it's because food inevitably causes weight gain, and breaking my fast two days a week will invariably make my weight bounce back a bit. While I have to accept it, I don't have to like it. Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  339  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I was feeling a bit yuck from a combination of my fight with the porcelain fairy and the stress I've been under. I decided that eating would be a good idea today, so I had a salad with a nice, fat-infused Italian dressing I had made and some feta cheese and a few cherry tomatoes. It was really tasty. I also ate about an ounce or two of pork rinds. You'd be surprised at how many rinds are in a single ounce. They are a bit difficult to weight, though. I had quite a handful of them. Likely, it was two h...

2018 JUL 30 -- Day 110

I gained 3 lbs. I hate that I gained 3 lbs. I made the decision to change my eating regime and start eating when I feel hungry. I ate with my husband when we got home from work yesterday. We had taco salads. It was good, but I am now 3 lbs heavier than I was yesterday. This doesn't make me feel good. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  341  lbs  ⇧   Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I had about the same amount of actual salad that he had, but while he had an Italian Romaine blend of lettuce, I had a spring mix with baby spinach. I also drank almost my entire 7-cup bottle of water -- maybe 5 cups of it. I know that fiber retains water, so I'm hoping that when I eliminate the salad as waste, I will lose this 3 lbs and then some. We shall see and only time will tell. I feel good, though. I feel better than I have in several days. That's telling. Have I been severely dehydrated, maybe? I don't know. Have I been missing out ...
